Incidentally, to me, personally, debating how this should work is like talking about the precedence of + and * and % and ^ in programming. Yeah, you can memorize the rules in various situations, but if it matters, then use parentheses; don't leave it to chance. Similarly, if it matters which side th...

You never said what you're suggesting the change should be. "Place items relative to inserter orientation instead of belt orientation" in the title. What he and all these other posters (and I) want is, that inserters should put items into the far right quadrant of the belt*, relative to t...

You never said what you're suggesting the change should be.

items have to go either on the left side or the right side. Are you suggesting it should be random? Or should it alternate? Or start on one side consistently, but fill the other side if the first side is full?

I use fluid barrelling all the time so robots can carry the fluids.

Well, I think it's pretty unlikely they're going to take it back out now. Certainly you can revert to an earlier version where the quickbar isn't present. You can find old versions all the way back to 0.6.4 here:

Have you considered reading a few pages about the quickbar and tips on how to use it? Here's a basic introduction: https://wiki.factorio.com/Quickbar And here's an extremely detailed description of how it works and how best to use it. I'm pretty sure I wasn't fond of the quickbar either until I read...

I assume among other things you use your Factorio card to buy more Factorio Pay 2 Automate credits?

I don't think they shift per signal position. I think they shift per track piece. So both lights result in the outline being over the same track pieces, whereas if the light were one more position to the right, the outline would shift to the next track piece.

It must be possible, because Kovarex enrichment outputs two different items, U-235 and U-238, at the same time.

I had the impression that players where pretty happy about IR and having their mods featured in FFF, twitch, and youtube seems to be a good predictor of modder satisfaction too. What happened to make you feel like killing your own mod is the best solution? The judgmental rebuke you implied in that ...

For what it's worth, perhaps not much, I think there are a lot of us out here who enjoyed IR and still enjoy it, and who aren't even bothering to upgrade to 0.18 experimental purely because IR doesn't work with it. It's unfortunate that doing anything to stand out on the internet brings the trolls o...

Logistics robots are still useful if you don't have requester chests. You can set personal logistics requests and they'll deliver to you from storage chests or passive provider chests. This keeps your character all stocked up on things you use often, like belts.

I agree! https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=35208&p=220155#p220155 I dislocated my collarbone over the summer and had to have my arm in a sling for many weeks. As a result, using a keyboard was awkward, to say the least. I tried remapping the keys to the same side as my mouse ha...

Small tip, if you check the minimap with a radar in hand (assuming you are standing close to an already placed radar) Then the minimap will show the range of the radars - allowing you to align them neatly without coverage gaps. Yes, this. There's a blue shaded square that shows the radar's 7×7 chun...

According to the wiki, it's 29 chunks square. https://wiki.factorio.com/Radar The Radar charts one distant chunk every time the sector scanning progress bar fills. ... This is done in an 29×29 chunks around the Radar, excluding the nearby 7×7 chunks. With a total number of 797 chunks (29×29 − 7×7), ...

If she's like the rest of the world, she's probably already spent more than the game costs, just on toilet paper.

Yes! If the beacons are going to have color, it would be cool if they could take on the color of the modules they contain.

What about a version that looks like the first beacon, with the thin tower and giant spire... https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-339-beacon-anim-test.gif ...but then lower the tower much further into the hole? So the "eye" part of the beacon barely pokes out of the hole. Then the...

As noted in the linked thread, Auto Deconstruct can do this for you:

They're marked with a deconstruction X, so either your bots will take care of them, or you can manually remove them if you don't have bots there.

Maybe the best solution is a compromise. If the train is in manual mode when you control-click to create a temp station, then the train temporarily switches to auto mode, drives to the temp station, then switches back to manual mode. If the train was in auto mode, then it stays in auto mode when it...
